The TA58P keyboard

General

The TA58P keyboard has a flexible key layout. It contains a numeric and

alphanumeric key field comparable with the key field of a PC. In addition

to a PC keyboard the TA58P has 36 function keys, which can be used

freely.

The TA58P keyboard is equipped with a key switch with 6 switch positions

and is available with or without a swipecard reader.

A power-up reset and an automatic self-test are performed each time the

POS terminal is switched on. Following these self-tests, the keyboard is

ready for operation. The keyboard receives its power from the POS

system.

GB - 7

Keypad

In the functional keyfield of the TA58P, two keys can be combined to form

a double key and four keys to form a quadruple key, either horizontally or

vertically. Only one key code is generated by each double or quadruple

key.

Key caps can be changed on the spot using the key cap remover included

in the scope of supply. When using the key caps for multiple keys, note

the position of the pin on the underside, making sure that the desired code

is set. According to the Wincor Nixdorf Convention the guide cylinder is po-

sitioned left (double key horizontal), on the bottom (double key vertical) or

on the bottom left (quadruple key).

Key switch

The TA58P keyboard is equipped with a key switch with 6 switch positi-

ons. Switch position 0 is the basic position; switch positions 1-4 are provi-

ded for customer-specific applications. In positions 0 and 1, the key can

be removed.

The sixth switch position, which is

designated on the lock by T, is

intended for use by Field Enginee-

ring. From switch position 0, the key

provided can be turned to position T

only. This key is not included in the

scope of supply.

The key switch has only one

closure, i.e. there is only one set of

keys for all keylocks that includes the

above-mentioned key variants for the

various switch positions.

LEDs

The TA58P has 3 LEDs:

Num Lock

Shift Lock

Scroll Lock

They are activated or de-activated by the application software.

Num Lock

When the LED Num Lock lights up the numerical keypad is active ( figu-

res, decimal point and comma) and not the basic level (cursor, “delete”

etc.). You can switch between these levels with the NUM key or via soft-

ware, depending on the operating system.

Shift Lock

When the use of capital letters is activated, this LED lights up. All letters

will be output as caps. The other characters are output normally, e.g. nu-

merics.

Scroll Lock

Scrolling is inactive, when this LED lights up. The scrolling function is only

used by few software programs.

Swipecard reader (SCR)

Swipecard reader

The TA58P is optionally equipped with a swipecard reader. It is a separate

housing right side of the keys. The SCR is able to read ID-cards.

Using the Swipecard reader

Pull the magnetic card evenly and quickly, from top to bottom, through the

slot on the swipecard reader. Make sure that the magnetic stripe isn`t

facing the keys.

Note the following precautions when handling magnetic cards:

Never allow magnetic cards to come into contact with liquids.

Never bend or fold magnetic cards.

Never expose magnetic cards to a magnetic field.

Insert the magnetic card in the special slot provided on the

reader from the right-hand side only; inserting the card at

another location could damage the read heads.

Cleaning Instructions

In order to ensure that the quality of reading results is maintained, clean

the swipecard reader at least once a week. To do this, use the special

cleaning card that can be ordered from Wincor Nixdorf.

Connecting a 2nd Keyboard to theTA58P

Connecting a 2nd Keyboard

The TA58P has a connection for a second keyboard. This connection al-

lows for example to plug in an additional PC-keyboard for text input. This

is necessary, if you want to install a new keyboard. The new keyboard is

delivered without keyboard instructions, which must be still created. The

mechanism is made by the second keyboard.

At the backside of the keyboard

there is the connection for the

second keyboard, marked “second

keyboard”.

Connection of 2nd keyboard

Plug the connector into the 2nd con-

nection and secure the cable in that

position with the screw and the metal

cover (see picture).

In the case that the connected 2nd keyboard is a POS-key-

board (TA57, TA61, Ta64 or TA85) and that the TA58P

uses a magnetic swipe card reader, a central keylock

and/or a waiter keylock a simultaneous use of these POS

functions on the 2nd keyboard is not allowed. With the

TA58P you can only use the 2nd keyboard alternately (and

not at the same time with the 1st keyboard!)

of the keyboard.

Put the keyboard cab-

le through the opening

of the foot of the
